Abstract

"Three-Wide Education" is an important concept for colleges in the new era to implement the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education. As an essential component of higher education, college physical education plays a unique role in promoting students' physical and mental health, cultivating well-rounded personalities, and shaping correct values. However, current college physical education still faces issues such as prioritizing skills over moral education, monotonous teaching content and methods, and an imperfect evaluation system, which hinder the full realization of its educational function. Therefore, exploring the effectiveness enhancement path of college physical education under the "Three-Wide Education" framework is of great significance for improving the quality of college physical education and cultivating well-rounded socialist builders and successors with moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor development. This study focuses on H University, using questionnaires and interviews. Surveys target students to assess their satisfaction, engagement, and awareness of physical education's educational role. Interviews with teachers and administrators explore their understanding of "Three-Wide Education," current teaching practices, and challenges. Some teachers have a superficial understanding of the "Three-Wide Education" concept, equating physical education with skill instruction while neglecting the cultivation of students' moral character, ideological development, and willpower. The teaching content primarily focuses on traditional sports, lacking modernitywhich makes it difficult to stimulate students' interest. The teaching methods mainly involve teacher demonstrations and student practice, lacking interactivity and innovation. The current evaluation system overly emphasizes the assessment of sports skills and physical fitness, neglecting the evaluation of students' learning attitudes and teamwork spirit. Under the background of "Three-Wide Education," college physical education needs to take the realization of "fostering virtue through education" as its fundamental task. Improving the quality of physical education can promote students' physical and mental development, enhance their comprehensive qualities, and cultivate well-rounded personalities. Therefore, when conducting teaching activities, college physical education teachers should focus on students, aim to promote their comprehensive development, and adopt effective measures to enhance the effectiveness of college physical education by addressing the existing problems and shortcomings. The limitation of this study lies in its focus on H University as a single case, and the generalizability of the conclusions requires further verification. Future research could expand the sample size and conduct more in-depth analysis and exploration.
